It’s news because it’s fucking hilarious. The clip is funny even without knowing it’s a corporate scandal. But the context makes it even juicier.

I don’t get it…
Is he an astronomer? Or is that the name of his company? If so, who here had ever even heard of him, or his company prior to this?
Yet somehow this is major news? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

At least I can take solace in the fact that I don’t need dumb shit line this to be entertained.

Found the cheating CEO…

Hilarious. I don’t find dumb shit like people cheating on their significant other and getting caught because I’m not an edgy teenager and suddenly, I’m a CEO?
I fucking wish.
Being the CEO of a company, big or small- is exponentially better than being a random dipshit laughing at the folly of others online.

Excellent point. There’s a certain ‘sacrificial lamb’ vibe to this. With everything going on right now, how is this worth anyone’s time?
I’m not the biggest Coldplay fan, so let me extrapolate: if tomorrow we learned Weird Al Yankovic’s mother liked to kick puppies that would certainly be odd, definitely not good news. But I’d still think having Trump not releasing the Epstein files is a matter far more worth our attention.
